O Box Score CINCINNATI (AP) - Official box score of the fifth game of the 1961 World Series: New York (A) . AB R H RBI O K CINCINNATI, Ohio (UPIl - It was that lamed Yankee power that finally closed out the Reds. The Yankees got pitching to be sure. It wasn't the Whitey Ford type, but they didn't need it the way they hammered eight Cincin nati pitchers to win Monday's Series Outcome Justifies Yank Front Office Move CINCINNATI, Ohio (UPI-The New York Yankees are back on top of the baseball world car ried there for the first time in three years by a new manager and that old - fashioned Yankee power. Scarcely had this super-charged team of sluggers completed the rout of the Cincinnati Reds with Monday's World Series clinching 13-5 victory than General Man ager Roy Harney and Manager Ralph Houk clasped hands in a gesture that cemented the new front office-manager combination for perhaps years to come. "You did a tremendous job," Harney told Houk. "I've never worked with a better fellow." Moments later Harney said that Houk, who took over the difficult job of following in the footsteps of Casey Stengel this year, will Yanks Battled To Win For Manager CINCINNATI, Ohio (UP) -Ralph Houk's gone fishing and while he's at it he can congratu late himself for not snapping at the bait of three other manager ial offers last year. A year ago this time, two clubs, the Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Athletics, were after Houk to become their manager. Earlier during the 1960 season, the Boston Red Sox let it be known that he would be most wel come at Fenway Park, too. Houk, then a coach with the Yankees, wanted more than any thing else to become a major league manager. With the Yan kees preferably, although the last thing he would do would be to " step on Casey Stengel's toes. The Yanks made the decision when they let go Casey. No one. outside of the Yankee players perhaps, fully realized what winning the World Series Monday meant to Houk. Win For Ralph "I could talk from now until Redleg Strategy Failure CINCINNATI (AP) This will be known as the series in which the Cincinnati Rcdlegs sent up 15 men to Dinch hit and got one double, which had no effect on the score. In which the Redlegs issued five intentional walks to the Yan kees and on four occasions the next man hit safely, and on the fifth, pitcher Bud Daley raised a sacrifice fly that scored a run. In which, with the Yankees leading 11-3 in the fifth game, Vada Pinson led off the fifth in ning with a single to center and was easily thrown out at second when he tried to stretch it into a double. The Reds then went on to get two runs, which would have been three or more if Pinson had played it safe. But when all was said and done, the Redlegs really never had a chance no matter what their strategy was. The Yankees took the final game 13-5 Monday and the series 41 and the reason was Yankee batting power plus pitcher Whitey Ford, who achieved a series mark of 32 consecutive scoreless in nings. Furthermore. the Yankees won with little help from their bigUal more than 5.000 points in the guns. Roger Maris and Mickey i pentathlon, broke her own world Mantle.

Johnny Blanchard and Hector Lopez clubbed home runs to lead the devastating lS-hit Yankee at tack, which also included four receive a substantial pay raise for the 1962 season. Houk, who got an estimated $35,000 this year, undoubtedly will be moved into the $50,000 class. Victory Vindicates Owners The series triumph was a vin dication for co-owners Dan Top ping and Del Webb, too, because they were unduly criticized when they let the fabulously successful Stengel go after he had led the Yankees to 10 pennants in 12 years. Both were in the Yankee clubhouse immediately after t h e game to congratulate both Harney and Houk. It marked a return to glory for the Yankees for the first time since 1958 when they beat the Milwaukee Braves in a seven game series. The Yankees failed to win the pennant in 1959 and lost a seven-game World Series Christmas and I still couldn't ex plain how much it meant to me personally," said the elated ex Army major after the Yankees mauled the Reds Monday. 'But don't make a big thing about how I feel," Houk pleaded "That's not important to anyone but me. The players really did it all. I didn't get any hits." Maybe so, but the Yankee play ers were so bent on "winning it for Ralph" that they sometimes resembled a college football team straining to win one for the coach rrom the lime this season started, the big thing with me was to help Ralph win anyway I could, said Mickey Mantle, be fore he took off for Dallas Mon day during the ninth inning of the game. Offers To Play Mantle, still hobbling noticeably from his hip injury, left the Yan kees' bench for the clubhouse aft er the seventh inning at which time the Yanks led, 13-5 the same score they won by. Painful as his injury was. Mantle came to Houk before the game and told him he would try to play if Ralph wanted. "I didn't have the nerve to put him in," said Houk clearly show ing how grateful he was that Mantle even offered to play. "These fellows on the ball club have been simply wonderful a 1 1 year," the Yankee manager add ed. "I coudn't have asked for more."

They were helped along by three Red errors, a wild pitch and general sloppy Cincinnati play. Blanchard was subbing for the injured Mickey Mantle and Lo pez, who wound up batting in five runs, for Yogi Berra. to the Pittsburgh Pirates last year. Houk was obviously delighted but side-stepped when asked whe ther this was the best Yankee team he ever saw. "I'd say the first nine was," he replied. "It has more power than any other Yankee ball club I can ever remember. The pitching doesn t have the experience that some of our other Yankee clubs had." That comment undoubted ly means that the Yankees who never stand pat, win or lose will be active in the trade mar kets this winter in an attempt to bolster their pitching staff. Old Yankee Power But in the final analysis it didn't make much difference whe ther Yankee pitching was out standing or not in the World Se ries. It was that old-fashioned Yan kee power the long ball threat from top to bottom that result ed in the five-game rout. Rival Manager Fred Hutchinson was among the first to concede that fact: "The long ball that was the difference in the series, he said. The Yankee list of heroes was long, of course, beginning with Whitey Ford, who set a series mark of 32 consecutive scoreles innings with his 14 shutout in nings in this series: Johnny Blan chard, who hit two key home runs; Bobby Richardson, who batted .391; Bill Skowron and Els ton Howard. And, in fact, right on to Roger Maris, who made only two hits but whose game- winning homer on Saturday was singled out by Hutchinson as "the turning point of the series." "That was the one that hurt us the most," said Hutchinson. "Un til then we were doing all right. Then everything started to go wrong. Hutch Praises Players Hutchinson conceded he was sad that the Reds hadn't done better but refused to criticize his players. "Our guys did a good job all year," he said, "nobody expected us to win the pennant and we did. As far as the last game is concerned, we just got the hell kicked out of us. But we never quit trying. The National League is a tough league but if we get efforts like this year we could win again. The club is set and I am quite hopeful about next year." Hutchinson and the rest of the Reds blamed their mass batting slump for their poor showing. "We finally did some hitting in the last game." said Hutchinson. "But then our pitching fell apart."

It never was a contest after that, although the Reds did pull within three runs in the third inning when Frank Robinson hit - a home run with two mates on base. That chased Yankee starter Ralph Terry, but Bud Daley came in to put out the fire. The Reds scored two unearned runs off him. but they were far too late and far too little. Daley received credit for the victory while Jay was charged with the defeat. Bobby Richardson, whose .391 average was the best in the se ries, started the Yankees off on the right foot with a record-ty ing single. It was his ninth hit, tying such old timers as Home Run Baker, Eddie Collins, Hcinie Groh and Joe Moore for the most hits in a five-game series. Jay retired the next two batters but then the roof caved in. He tried to pick Richardson off first, but first baseman Gordon Cole man let tile ball get away from him for an error and Richardson went to second. Blanchard then blasted one into the right field bleachers. Then came a double by Elston Howard, a single by Bill Skowron which Ford Ranks High As World Series Hero CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) Now that the smoke has cleared from the New York Yankees' massacre of the outgunned Cincinnati Reds, a whimsical pitcher with wither ing finesse, lefty Whitey Ford, stands as the 1961 World Series hero. Ford broke a Babe Ruth pitch ing record and hamstrung tne Reds with 14 innings of scoreless pitching while Roger (61-homer) Maris belted only one vital blow and Mickey Mantle contributed mainly medical reports in the series won by the Yanks, four eames to one. Ford, a chunky, twinkling-eyed chap of 32, won the series opener last Wednesday in New York with a two-hit, 2-0 shutout and was credited with a 7-0 fourth-game triumph he didn't finish Sunday. Ford winding up the regular season with the majors' best rec ord of 25-4 displayed delightful humor as well as superb pitching in tying the Redlegs into knots. This was a wide open series for hero candidates. They popped from the width of the Yankee bench in varying degrees. They included: Big John Blanchard, whose .400 batting effort m a utility role in eluded two extremely timely homers. Bobby Richardson, who con tinued his amazing series hot hit ting with a 9 for 23 record and a .391 average after collecting 11 for 30 and a .367 mark in the 1960 Yankee series' upset by the Pirates. Another utility star. Hector Lopez, who slammed a home run triple and single in 9 trips for the series RBI high of 7. Cletis Boyer, the octopus-like third sacker. who hit when the chips were down. And, to a certain extent, Maris, whose ninth-inning homer gave the' Yankees a 3-2 triumph over the Reds in Saturday's third game, and Mantle, who played 11 pain ful innings with a festered right hip. But, in the final analysis, it was the light-hearted, heavy- armed Ford who rang a loud mid night alarm on Cincinnati's Cin derella team. Had Ford not sulfered a badly irtwn mum mw nnoor, mum finished Jay and brought in Jim Maloney a triple by Lopez and a double by Boyer, and the Yan kees had five big runs. They made it 6-0 in the second on a single by Tony Kubek and a double by Roger .Maris. The Reds came to life in the bot tom of the third when Don Blas ingame and Eddie Kasko singled and Robinson homered. That brought on Daley and the Reds got two more men on base before Daley settled down to retire the side. Another five-run uprising in the fourth put the crusher on the Reds. Bill Henry, the fourth of the eight Cincinnati pitchers, was chief victim. A single by Kubek, a double by Blanchard, an inten tional base on balls to Howard, Skowron's single and Lopez' hom er did the damage. The Reds came up with two in the fifth. With two out, Coleman was safe at first when Daley dropped Skowron's throw and Post homered high off the left field screen. That was the end of the Reds' scoring, but the Yankees added two without a hit in the sixth. Two walks, an error and a wild pitch did the trick just proving that the Yankees didn't always need power to score, either. But before that it was that old- time power that once again put the New York Yankee baseball dynasty on top of the world. bruised toe from his own batted ball in the sixth inning of Sun day's fourth game, he might have had a skein of 36 scoreless innings instead of the record 32 he now has written into baseball's archives. Ruth held the former scoreless inning series record at 29 2-3, a mark the immortal Bambino re putedly cherished as much as his season homer mark of 60 which Maris broke this year with 61 in 8 more games. After his record-breaking sec ond stint Sunday, Ford lightly passed over his accomplishment, jokingly wondering how mucn money would be offered for the ball he used in breaking Ruth's record. , ( No joke to the crushed Cincin nati Reds, however, was the fact that in whipping them twice, Ford allowed six hits in 14 in nings, walked only one, struck out seven and made them look mighty futile.

Dunsmuir Tigers Pick Up 2nd Win; Hayfork Next DUNSMUIR The Tigers invad ed Trinity County on Friday night to pick up their second win of the season, defeating Weaverville 20-19 in the closing minutes of the game. Dunsmuir set up the. first score of the game in the second quarter by intercepting a Weaver ville pass on th! enemy 40. After a series of imall gains, Beaner Hisey plunged over from the five yard line. Hisey also ran the ex tra point. Weaverville raced the clock for its initial touchdown. A 40-yard pass play, Jim Phillips, to Dave Crosswhitc, put Weaverville on the scoreboard as the half ended. The extra point try failed and the half ended Dunsmuir 7, Wea verville 6. Dunsmuir took the kick-off as the second half started and in eight plays drove to the five-yard line where Hisey again plunged over. He also accounted for the extra point. The Trinity eleven snapped back and Phillips marched through the Dunsmuir middle for a 75-yard run and Uie second TD. The Tigers were able to foil the point try. As the fourth quarter got under way, Phillips passed to Roger Carpenter for an eight-yard gain and another six points. The same play gave Weaverville an extra point and put them ahead 19-14 Dunsmuir drove to the five-yard line but bogged down and Wea verville took over. The Tigers stiffened and Weaverville had to punt. Jim Nelson blocked the punt and Dunsmuir regained the ball on the eight-yard line. A little over-eager, the Tigers drew five yards for being offside, then moved to the two where Hisey scored on a fourth down play with seconds remaining in the game. The extra point try failed.
